Le chant d’Achille

Eau de Parfum

« Jean-David gave me the Madeline Miller novel that lends this fragrance its name. I wanted to restore its sensuality, those emotions that surface page after page. I imagined a chameleon orange blossom, resting on a bed of musks, by turns virginal and warlike. I paired it with immortelle, warm and salty — a nod to the Mediterranean and to Achilles' heel. The geranium traces a deceptive fern-like sling, echoing the ambiguous feelings that bind the two heroes. »

Le chant d’Achille by Hellenist, eau de parfum

The story of Le chant d’Achille

Le chant d'Achille draws on the light of the Mediterranean and the legend of Homer's hero. Its top notes — neroli, lemon and black pepper — open onto a sparkling freshness, like a sea breeze over the cliffs of Skyros.

The heart reveals a floral, sunny harmony of orange blossom, geranium and ylang-ylang, while the base of immortelle, vetiver and white musk lends a saline, refined depth.

Created by Alexandra Carlin, this eau de parfum embodies the duality of Achilles, a formidable hero with a sensitive soul, for a trail that is both luminous and intimate.
